I'm not really sure the Crossfield needs a 25th Century redesign. From what I understand, she was kinda purpose built for Spore Drive research, so the class wasn't as widespread as ships like the Shepard and Walker. Basically she's a unique ship like the Vengeance was in the Kelvin Timeline.

I wouldn't MIND seeing a 25th Century update, but the likelyhood of it happening is pretty low. Lore wise the ships we are getting in the C-Store Fed side are not actually Discovery era ships, but ships based on those of that time period. There's really no justification for an STO era Crossfield unless there was also one at Yard 39, and all the data on Spore Tech research is declassified. I kinda get the sense that its been buried deeper than the data on Genesis tech.

Yeah going by the show she was built along with the U.S.S. Glen as test-beds for the spore drive, possibly based off and existing ship hull, but still pretty unique. That rotating saucer is unique to them as it was an integral part of the drive. The Glen was destroyed, leaving only a single ship.

And if the Short Treks are anything to go by then:

the Discovery gets abandoned in space for 1000+ years and it looks like nobody finds it to copy its technology

other then having a whole in the saucer the Scryer and Crossfield have very little in common, btw do we know the fate of the USS Crossfield (you know the name sake of the class)?. While we know she can't have functional sporedrive (that was exclusive for the USS Glenn and USS Discovery), it doesn't mean she can't exists.

There might not even be a USS Crossfield. Purpose built ships may not follow the same conventions as normal ships of the line. Remember, Spore Drive Research was basically a Black Ops project. For all intents and purposes they didn't exist for security reasons. With the war over I think they were planning on dismantling the Spore Drive on Discovery due to the data brought back by Discovery and how the drive was used to "accidentially" jump into another universe. That, combined with the current navigator requirements of the Spore Drive make it impractical for widespread use. 23rd Century computers are just not powerful enough to handle the calculations needed to remove the "living pilot element", which in itself skirts the edges of legality in the Federation in one way or the other.

If there was another Crossfield at Yard 39... that has yet to be revealed. Although the digital CCG game Star Trek Adversaries does have the USS Andromeda as a Crossfield class, but that could be just to fill out a card roster. I took advantage of that for my Discovery Captain, saying that she got command of the Andromeda after she was found at Yard 39.

It's true that we don't got any clear evidence that USS Crossfield exist, but in my head canon it's prototype similar to the shuttle Enterprise, used to test the secondary systems to make sporedrive work without actually having one explaining why after the destruction of the USS Glenn why the Discovery is the only ship with a functional sporedrive.

After the Discovery and Glenn are built I'd suspect that Crossfield was mothballed or put into reserve fleet since it's not that different from your typical Starfleet ship and its purpose was complete.

Also in my headcannon the sporedrive program wasn't that went from 0 to functional prototype in less then a year but something Starfleet had been working with for quite some time but as low priority with limited resources (to keep it covert) and when the klingons attacked it got bumped into the top of priority list (or at least close to the top) and was given much more resources, allowing it to get to the "semi-functional" state we see it at the start of DSC season 1.

I don't like the DSC skins myself, but the Gagarin looks really good and 2100 Zen wouldn't be too much of a stretch. I just pass because it'd be nonsense for me personally right now because I don't really play that much especially not with new characters. But Cryptic did a fine job with that ship skin, a 25c Crossfield would probably improve on it's looks greatly.​​

like the title says and since all the other discovery era ships have been given a 25th century makeover then why not give one to the crossfield class

Well its a can of worms to update a loxbox ship, the crossfield is a 25th century ship in a 23rd century skin much like the T6 NX the kelvin and vengance they are not supposed to actual 23rd century ships with 23rd century tech (technally lore wise i dont think a 23rd century ship would last 5 seconds againts any 25th century ships)

...but I think the T'Pau could use a 25th century skin like the D'Kyr.

Um... the D'Kyr's actually a 22nd Century design.

Don't they mean that the T'Pau could use a 25th C skin like the D'Kyr could also use one?​​

Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

That would be cool, but it seems unlikely - the ship is already an exclusive ship that very few have, it wouldn't really benefit all that many people. Unless they make another Discovery Lockbox perhaps? But if it was a contemporary ship from the STO timeline, there is no real justification to put it in a lockbox (or promo etc.), and I don't think a non-lockboxed variant of the Discovery is in the stars.
